Forsa Poll Over Merz

 Forsa, the polling folks....asked the German public to grade Chancellor Merz...with the option....are you satisfied with him...yes or no.

15-percent said 'YES'.

83-percent said 'NO'.

Yeah, on a scale of bad news....1-to-10....it's probably a '7'.  

Why so many 'no'?  I'd say it goes to three issues.  First, there's nothing much impressive that the CDU-CSU-SPD coalition has done since day one.  Second, there's a bad karma landscape left from the SPD-FDP-Green coalition...remember that Scholz-guy?  Third, his chief selling point....was that he'd get the economy back in order....well, that has yet to really happen.

All of this setting up a chaotic period from this fall....to fall of 2027....with various state elections?  Yeah.

But you can say one thing positive....there's just not anyone from the CDU-CSU group to impress people as a replacement.  You also can say....no one from the SPD, or Greens...impresses the public as a replacement character.

So this remarkably bad news piece doesn't change much of anything?  Yeah.  That's the weird part of the story.
